After Rebirth, I Married the Archenemy of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 14

At the Gu family dinner table, there was a harmonious atmosphere.

After lunch,

The Gu family invited them to the backyard to have tea.

It was the autumn season when the weather was pleasant, and the cool breeze blew by, giving a different kind of elegance.

"Well, after so many years of friendship between our families, I won't beat around the bush," Gu Wengquan said after letting the servants pour the tea.

An Yanyuan was of course actively echoing, "Of course, old Gu, just say what you have. The wedding between Warmth and Yansheng is up to you."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony," Gu Wengquan looked very generous, "The wedding will be next month. We won't skimp on it. In any case, our two families are the four major families in Qingcheng. Marrying a daughter-in-law should not be done simply. The venue and banquet arrangements will naturally be borne by the groom's side. All the cash gifts will go to the newlyweds, Warmth and Yansheng."

"Okay," An Yanyuan agreed.

Li Yaju also chimed in.

"As for the betrothal gifts and dowry, let's not make assumptions. If you have any requirements for the betrothal gifts, just mention it and we'll try to meet them," Gu Wengquan looked very sincere.

An Yanyuan said, "You're already hosting the banquet, which is no small expense, besides, we only have one daughter Warmth. All our wealth will eventually be hers anyway. We don't have any requirements. Let's see if Warmth has any suggestions?"

Receiving her father's signal, An Warmth quickly said, "No, I'm happy as long as the wedding is joyful. I have no requirements."

"Is there anything you'd especially like? Auntie can buy it for you," Gu Yansheng's mother, Ni Lan, quickly said.

An Warmth glanced at Ni Lan.

Her mind was filled with scenes of this woman forcing her to drink medicine under the guise of caring for her, so that she could bear offspring for the Gu family.

It was only until her death that she realized the so-called medicine was made by stewing disgusting insect corpses. Every time she drank it, she would vomit and have diarrhea for several days. Yet in order to be able to give birth to a child for the Gu family, she forcibly drank it for 8 years!

The ruthlessness in An Warmth's eyes was slowly suppressed. She said, "I only liked that blue sapphire originally, and I have it now, so there's nothing I need."

The blue sapphire was obviously a taboo topic for the Gu family. Bringing it up now clearly made the Gu family members react.

Fortunately, the Gu family were good actors. For topics detrimental to themselves, they would naturally gloss over it. "In that case, I won't make decisions for you. Anyway, after Warmth marries into our family, we'll be one family. Feel free to ask Auntie if there's anything you like."

"Thank you, Auntie," An Warmth responded perfunctorily.

"Then that settles the betrothal gifts. As for the dowry, we don't have any requirements either, as long as the children are well taken care of." Gu Wengquan paused, seemingly hesitant to mention something. He sighed heavily and said, "However, there is one thing I'd like to ask for now."

"Old Gu, speak plainly," An Yanyuan also acted very magnanimously.

In the previous life, when the Gu family was short on funds, the An family did provide great support.

In fact, now that Gu Wengquan had said this much, there was no reason to refuse either.

An Yanyuan glanced at An Warmth.

An Warmth nodded.

Only then did An Yanyuan say, "We're one family, so helping is natural. I don't know, how big is the funding gap the Gu Company is facing this time?"

"After an initial calculation, about 20 billion," Gu Wengquan said breezily.

Seemingly thinking it was just a small amount.

Of course, it wasn't that the An family couldn't take it out, but this figure was definitely not something the An family could squander freely.

An Warmth smiled and asked, "As far as I know, the capital needed for Gu Company's e-commerce project is also 20 billion. Uncle Gu, do you not have a single cent you can take out?"

Gu Wengquan was somewhat embarrassed.

He didn't expect An Warmth to know about this project.

Even more unexpected was that An Warmth would say it outright.

The implication of her words was very clear - the An family was investing in this project, while the Gu family was piggybacking off them.

Everyone here was a businessman.

No one would accept such a deal!

The atmosphere became somewhat cold for a while.

Gu Yansheng quickly explained, "The Gu Company's stock market crashed, so some funds were diverted to fill the gap."

"Oh, I see," An Warmth pretended to suddenly understand.

There was no sign that she clearly knew the Gu Company's stock market fill only required tens of millions.

And tens of millions was negligible compared to billions.

Seeing An Warmth's expression, Gu Yansheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had thought An Warmth really understood things, but now it seemed she had just heard about the project through gossip. A woman like An Warmth, whose only wish was to marry him and be a virtuous wife, how could she possibly understand business matters?

"Dad, since the Gu Company is facing difficulties with this investment project, we should help them," An Warmth said to her father.

Gu Yansheng sneered sinisterly.

He knew it, An Warmth was still the same, a silly woman he could play around with.

An Yanyuan was also puzzled by An Warmth's actions. She clearly regretted the marriage, yet now she was offering to help. Although very confused, he still nodded, "We'll be one family from now on, so of course we must support each other fully."

"Then I'll have to thank Old An here," Gu Wengquan hurriedly said, unable to hide his smile now. At this moment he was also grinning from ear to ear.

"What if there are losses?" An Warmth suddenly asked, seemingly a very casual question.

Gu Wengquan gave a trembling laugh, "The project has been fully assessed, there won't be any losses."

"Nothing can be said for certain in business," An Warmth murmured, then smiled innocently at Gu Yansheng again, "Right, Yansheng?"

"Yes, but we've made every preparation for this project, don't worry, there definitely won't be any losses," Gu Yansheng gently reassured her.

"If there are losses, the 20 billion won't be paid back then, right?"

"How could that happen?" Gu Wengquan hurriedly said, "The Gu family isn't relying on just one project. Even if this project makes losses, there will be income from other projects. Your family's 20 billion will definitely be returned."

"Since Uncle insists on paying it back, let's write an IOU!" An Warmth said with a faint smile.

She looked completely harmless.

As if what she said wasn't something that would damage relationships, but rather something matter of course.
